  • One of the main reasons I made the switch from 10 to 11 and I used it constantly. I have several services that simply don’t work right from the web interface because of the drm BS. Being able to use the android apps worked great even if side loading an alternative store was a little bit of a pain on initial setup.

    I am even more glad I recently made the switch to a 100% Linux environment at home. I have a simple waydroid install and it works much easier and is equally integrated into the desktop experience when compared to WSA. Only hassle is making sure you have a Wayland compositor since it won’t work with x11 but that’s just confirming a configuration essentially so par for the course really.

    Regardless, this would be very disappointing if I hadn’t already had an alternative.



  • Oh, this is a flipping great question. So much fun as I’ve just settled on one distro. M$ won’t allow me to transfer my transferrable Windows license and I refuse o pay yetagain for Windows so Linux is my sole OS from now on. I have had so many weird issues or configuration woes with a ton of OSs ive been trying. So I tell ya, I sure have installed my fair share of them in the last month or so.

    GUI:

    • Steam (Gotta get my game on)
    • ProtonPlus
    • Lutris
    • Heroic
    • Winetricks
    • Protontricks
    • VLC
    • Brave
    • Bitwarden(Probably the second most important software in my life)
    • Authy
    • Krusader (No idea why but Ill use this before the built in file manager sometimes)
    • Plex htpc
    • Kate - Notepadqq (havent decided which one i like best yet)
    • PolyMC
    • LibreOffice
    • Flatpack (I always prefer the native package but flatpack has almost anything the repositories lack)-
    • Appimagelauncher (Just for ease of use, appimages are a always third fiddle but are a great backup as flatpacks can be - limited in available software compared)
    • Gimp (Almost exclusively because the name makes me giggle)
    • OBS Studio

    CLI:

    • MC (100% always the first this I ever install no matter what)
    • HTOP (Not standard in all as many distros as i would think)
    • Openssh
    • Cifs-utils
    • Starship
    • Zsh
    • Neofetch
    • Tmux (Cant live without it)

    Of course there are tons of other small things I add but those are the ones I will have installed likely before I go to reboot for the first time. The rest of what I interact with is generally running on my server so it’s all web based stuff for the most part. I use VNC often to interact with virtual machines, do tech support for my son so i don’t have to get up (disabled). I haven’t really found a Linux VNC client i genuinely like. I used to use TightVNC with Windows and it’s about the only thing I miss. I do have a Guacamole docker running on my network but unless you have a physical KB/M it’s less than preferable to use. I’ll find something I like eventually I’m sure. 👍-----
